Artworker ( Packaging)

About Us

Established in 1999 as a small family company, The Somerset Toiletry Co. has flourished into an international business with toiletries sold in over 50 countries. We are renowned for bath, body and home fragrance products that vary from richly classical to wonderfully innovative. We create and sell our own brands including Naturally European and Aromas Artesanales de Antigua, but we also work with large multi-national retail groups to design, formulate and manufacture private labels.

We are a friendly team of designers, artworkers, perfumers, sales, admin and financial people who love our work and continually strive for excellence. Although an international company, our office in Clutton retains a small and welcoming feel. In 2020 we moved into quirky premises which allowed us to incorporate a gift shop and open the Soap Bar Café. (We bake our own delicious cakes on site!)

The Somerset Toiletry Co., is looking for a talented and enthusiastic artworker to join their award-winning in house studio. This is an exciting and rewarding role for an artworker, used to working in dynamic and fast-paced creative environments looking for their next opportunity.
